^Jason, first off Madonna isn’t a Scientology and wouldn’t want to here her sing anyway . I just thinking it wouldn’t do Audi any favours having endorsements from someone who believes in aliens.

Myke & KGL,

LOL! Means we can’t watch Tom Cruise jumping up & down on couches, nor Madonna sing, nor Travolta dance, nor….

Yeah, you’re right, there’s no downside….

The Realist.I would think in Australia Ford would sell more cars than Audi?

Well, I reckon the Audi presentation was one of the better ones on the day, so thumbs up to them for that.

Having Jennifer Hawkins et al is as much about attracting media recognition and therefore more attention to the brand. Ergo, you might not buy an Audi because Hawkins was on the stand, however, because she attracts media and helps keep Audi’s name up in the spotlight you might be more inclined to automatically think of Audi when you’re next buying a car.

Apart from that, I was standing about a metre away from her at one stage, and she is very cute, haha.

Oh, I’ve since worked out Shannon Bennett is a fancy chef with quite a resume in Europe, and he now runs a flash French restaurant in Melbourne.

“Why the constant need to hype up new model releases with glamourous women ? Shouldn’t the new vehicle speak for itself.
This is brand promotion taken too far in tougher economic times.”

What’s the difference between this and spending money on advertisements? Ultimately it comes down to attracting customers, and if Audi think they can attract more buyers through spending money on atrocious TV presenters like SS then that’s their choice. Audi can spend its money where it wants…

“As if anyone will be buying a new Audi Q5 just because some pretty women were standing right next to it.
Surely people arn’t really that easily influenced ?”

Compare the sales of Audi and Ford… perhaps Ford need to hire a few B list Aussie celebrities too…

yeah id lose interest due to ceberano to, i had the misfortune of hearing her sing live.. i wasn’t aware myke that she was a scientologist, this just turns my irrational dislike of her into a rational dislike.

But I agree, seeing a star with a car doesn’t make me anymore likely to buy one.

Liam, Shannon is a dude in bad need of some sort of haircut or hairstyle, I thought audi would have seen to that before getting his mug near the car. Bar that….dunno who he is

^I’d be influenced against this car considering Kate Ceberano is there. Didn’t know Audis were the choice of crazy Scientologists.
